Car bomb kills six near Baghdad

A car bomb blew up at the gate of an Iraqi security force base just north of Baghdad last night, killing six Iraqis and wounding at least 20.

The bomb targeted the Iraqi Civil Defence Corps base in Taji. Guerrillas fighting the US-led occupation have repeatedly targeted Iraqi police and security officers.

Earlier, a rocket-propelled grenade attack on Iraqis queuing up outside an Army recruiting centre in the northern city of Mosul wounded 17 people.
